Arrr, me beauties! Cast your eyes on the beauty of the flag we be sailing today, for Talk Like a Pirate Day. Some seek to cast our maidenly efforts into shadow with their offerings but soon find themselves cast adrift, the scallywags.
Arrr!
(Reverting to multisyllabic non-guttural speech)
I know that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day, rather than just plain Pirate Day, but a history buff such as myself can't go through the day without imparting a few nuggets of piratical lore. For instance, the flag that I started and that Elaine beautifully modified was actually an adaption of the flag that the pirate John Rackham used to fly. Rather than the traditional skull and crossbones, Rackham showed crossed swords beneath the skull's head because, rumor has it, he was always up for a good fight.
As for the skull and crossbones, known as the Jolly Roger, rather than being flown to strike terror in the hearts of those about to be attacked, it was, in some ways, a reassurance – a promise that if the prey gave in without a fight, their lives would be spared. Maybe.
However, if a pirate flew a flag that was red in color, this was a signal that no quarter would be given, the pirates were out for blood. In fact, it's been hypothesized that the name "Jolly Roger" was from the French joli rouge – pretty red.
So, what does our flag say? The crossed swords could signify that the women who fly it are up for a fight, but this message is somewhat softened by the gentle coloring and delicate detail, the tasteful bandana, and the elegant and stylish beaten gold earrings.
Perhaps what the flag is saying is that the women who fly it are up for a fight, but we'd rather not, thanks all the same. Or perhaps all it says is that though we may be deadly, we haven't lost our keen fashion sense.
Of course, if a ship was carrying webloggers, there would be only one possible flag…

For those whose jobs require plenty of space to spread out – architects, interior and garden designers, for instance – a large desk and an uncluttered, simple space are key. Here, an oversized canvas in bold blue is mounted on the wall to personalise the simple white scheme; build the colour theme by using it in your choice of accessories and create a neat and co-ordinated environment.
A garden cabin can be turned into a stylish home office: a glass roof and large windows allow you to make the most of natural light, with blinds to offer protection on sunnier days. A large dresser and comfortable dining chair replace traditional office pieces for a homely feel.
For a busy professional with a heavy workload, a good lamp is essential for working late into the night. Leave space on your bookcase for a radio and personal items such as favourite pieces of china to create a happy atmosphere.
Use a beautiful large cabinet as a storage unit for files and stationery if your office space is contained within a larger living area and you want to shut your work away at the end of the day. This smart Oriental cabinet not only fits the purpose, it is the perfect piece for this sitting room with eastern-inspired influences.
A small workspace within a bedroom can be cleverly concealed by using a wooden partition to separate the desk and the bed, ideal if you cannot dedicate a whole room to office space. The clever placing of a floor light means it can be used both for late night working and bedtime reading.
Revive the practise of retiring to the morning room to work on your household bills, letters and invitations while you enjoy the morning sunshine. Lamps provide alternative light for those who prefer to work in the evening and you could set aside a nearby bookshelf for filing.
To make the most of a small area, a space-efficient layout is crucial. A desk pushed into an alcove, and stool tucked beneath it keeps the floor clear, while clipboards covered in pretty wallpaper are an inventive way to make the most of wall space.
For a busy professional running a business from home, organisation is essential. Built-in shelves hold boxes and files that colour co-ordinate with a calming red and white-patterned wall panel featuring trees and birds, on the whole creating a clear and efficient workspace.
A wall of floating shelves above the worksurface will help you make the most of a narrow room and provide you with plenty of space to house books and box files. Intersperse with personal touches such as family photographs and use a single neutral colour throughout to make a room feel wider.
Take advantage of unused space and create a workspace in a downstairs backroom. Easy access to the garden, fresh air and lots of natural light makes for a relaxed and creative environment, perfect for an artist or writer. A good radiator is essential for winter months and vintage touches add character and originality.

Omotnicu je naslikao Madonnin brat Christopher Ciccone. Slova 'MLVC' označavaju skraćenicu za 'Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone', dok padajuće 'P' označava razvod od tadašnjeg supruga Sean Penna.

Being ready for anything means you need be prepared both mentally and physically, but the physical aspect is even more important when it comes to emergency situations and survival.
There's a lot of chatter about guns these days, so unless you grew up with guns in your family or pursue further knowledge than what you see on TV or in video games, you probably don't understand most of the Jargon being tossed around. Fortunately, the winter 2013 issue of Home Defender Magazine put out an article on the subject, thoroughly defining many of the common terms used in firearm culture.
Hopefully throughout the course of our lives we don't find ourselves in too many situations where we, or people in close proximity to us, are in life-threatening danger. Unfortunately, these things do happen, so if you or someone near by is in trouble, it's important to act quickly and appropriately.

I decided to take another swing at Anger Management today because it's quickly become the only movie this season I'm excited to see. A lot of industry analysts are saying the same thing – it looks to be the first sure-fire hit of the year.
And it only took you four months to get around to it. Way to go, Hollywood. -yawn!-
That said, it doesn't look like we'll get a chance to see it this weekend unless we catch a matinee. Tonight I'm going out with friends to get drunk in an English-themed pub. Tomorrow I'm going out with a different set of friends to get drunk at a Japanese restaurant. Yes, I'm quite the continental fellow.
I should say that today's comic is about as far as you can get from a fair representation of Cami – and for me, that's what makes it hilarious. Plus, isn't a girl picking a guy up by his throat, by default, funny?
Truth be told, Cami is far and away the more mellow between the two of us. I'm more likely to fly off the handle 10 times more often than she will. What can I say? I just live my life passionately!
I heard today that the guy who made Daredevil is signed on to direct Ghost Rider. Nicholas Cage is set to play the demon biker Johnny Blaze. I don't know how to feel about that. Ghost Rider is one of my favorite comic book anti-heroes. He's just a bad-ass character. I'm glad to see an adaptation come to the screen, I just hope they don't muck it up. Isn't Nicholas Cage getting a little old for comic book movies?
Speaking of comic book movies, you need to visit this site RIGHT NOW to download the new Matrix trailer. It looks so good, I can practically smell the leather overcoats.
When I asked interested parties to send me e-mails in regard to the poster I am working up, the response was strong and positive. You guys all sound on board for it, so I'm forging ahead!
I need to clarify something, however. I still plan to sell the posters for $5, but to this point, I've made no mention of shipping and handling. If you want a poster, I'm going to have to charge for that as well. I plan on shipping out the posters in cardboard tubes so they don't crease, and shipping will cost a little more since it's an irregular package. Expect to tack on another $2 to $3 to your purchase.
This is not meant to dissuade you, but I wanted to mention it in the interest of being forthright.
Truthfully, the whole set up is still a good value for your money. Especially when you consider that there will only be 100 of these posters made and I intend on signing and numbering each one. Just because I'm feeling generous, I'll toss in a short personal note to boot!
Thanks again for all your enthusiasm. You guys really make this worthwhile. Have a great weekend.

Cryptocurrency pioneers and influences the Winklevoss twins have again made a call for tougher rules to govern the market.
The twins introduced stablecoin GeminiUSD and are about to open a new exchange in the US.
They have regularly called for better regulation of the sector.
"Some have wondered why @Gemini believes the Revolution Needs Rules. Answer: Crypto doesn't need rules, but the companies built on top of it do. See excerpt from court-appointed monitor Ernst & Young report filed in Nova Scotia Supreme Court re: QuadrigaCX matter" said Cameron Winklevoss.
QuadrigaCX refers to the death of a cryptocurrency exchange CEO who had allegedly failed to pass on security data allowing his business to access millions of dollars of cryptocurrency held in wallets for consumers.
Bitcoin futures offered by Chicago's Cboe Global Markets will be pulled as investor interest in cryptocurrency wanes.
A year ago, the futures were launched as the next red-hot market, but now the market is doomed to disappear in June as the exchange will not enter into any new contracts and existing deals run out.
"We are assessing our approach with respect to how we plan to continue to offer digital asset derivatives for trading," said a statement.
Bitcoin futures trading is continuing in Chicago, but at another market – CME.
There, one day in February saw a record 92,000 Bitcoin change hands for $360 million.
The ABBC Foundation has ended a bitter feud with Chinese internet giant Alibaba over the naming of a cryptocurrency coin.
ABBC has promised not to use the term 'alibabacoin' and has apologized for any confusion the foundation may have caused users of the internet portal.
The coin is now named the ABBC coin.
Alibaba had launched a legal challenge against trademark infringement in American courts, alleging the name confused customers, damaged the company's reputation and helped the foundation raise $3.5 million in an initial coin offering.
ABBC denied the claims but has since stopped using the name and apologized in public.

Reggae Sensation Shaggy Brings the Boom(bastic) to Florida Jerk Festival
By Rick Munroe on July 9, 2021
One of the most anticipated Caribbean festivals of the summer, the 18th annual Florida Jerk Festival returned to the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach on Independence Day for the first time since 2019. Thousands of local, national, and international visitors descended upon South Florida and got exactly what everyone came for: an all-night affair filled with irie vibes and the very best in reggae, dancehall, and soca music. For the past 17 years, this festival had been held on Memorial Day; the pandemic brought on several changes to the highly attended festival, including a change to the date that pushed the festival a little deeper into summer, leading to a hot, shirt-soaking humid night. With the sounds of fireworks from nearby communities serving as a backdrop and heat ranging in the low 90s, the hot temperatures had many of the festival-goers arriving a little later in an effort to try to escape the extreme heat. With many anxiously awaiting the return of live in-person gatherings, the crowds at this year's Florida Jerk Festival appeared to be the biggest in recent memory. The festival marked the return by being the first Caribbean music-themed festival in Florida this year. As the crowd settled in for a night of music, the smells of grilled jerk chicken permeated the air along with other traditional island favorite foods, including nearly everything jerk, even jerk flavored ice cream. The family-friendly festival kept the kids entertained in the kids zone while their parents danced the night away. The festival is much more that just music: it's a gathering place for positive vibes that brought together a community to celebrate the rich island heritage that represents so much of the diversity found in South Florida.

The festival featured five-time Soca Monarch-winner, Trinidadian-born singer/songwriter Skinny Fabulous, who opened the festival and delivered a non-stop, high-energy set for those who came early and endured scorching heat to catch him. He wasted no time and quickly got everyone out of their chairs and dancing to his powerful island beats. He closed out his 45-minute set with perhaps his most recognized tune, his Soca anthem "Famalay." It was quite fitting for this gathering, where the crowds were indeed family. Next up was reggae mega-talented quartet L.U.S.T., who each took their own turn in the spotlight showcasing his own vocal ranges. The combination of varying vocal ranges merged flawlessly to create a harmonious melody that was easy to enjoy. It's clear to see why L.U.S.T has become such fan favorites.

As the sun set, the night brought some relief from the scorching sun. The heat may have been a bit more tolerable, but that's when things on stage began to ignite as two-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Shaggy who came decked out in three layers of clothing took the stage at 9:30, as most of the crowd had waited nearly four hours to see him perform. For nearly two hours, Shaggy, who has a unique sense of humor that cannot be overlooked, tends to mix in his humor during and in between his songs, keeping the crowd engaged the entire time. He played a non-stop set of his very best and most recognized songs, including a series of his most notable original hits "Bombastic," "Oh Carolina," "In The Summertime," "Angel," and "It Wasn't Me." His supporting band was exceptional; although the have played with him for years, yet very little is known about them. Shaggy also included a couple of covers, including the 2013 single by DJ Snake and Lil Jon "Turn Down For What" and paid homage to the late DMX with "Party Up (Up In Here)."
As the festival came to a close, the thousands who attended left satisfied; perhaps it was all the jerk chicken they consumed, but more likely the music was the filler. The buzz remained in the air and could be felt as the people made the long walk to their cars; it was a day that brought together people from varying islands that all share one thing in common: the love of island music. There is no question that the Florida Jerk Festival continues to be the premier Caribbean music festival, drawing record crowds each year. The Orlando version of the Florida Jerk Festival scheduled for later this year, although the lineup has yet to be announced. For nearly two decades this festival never disappoints, and there will be great anticipation of who will headline in Orlando later this year.

For the past few years, my go-to outfit, at any point in the season, would be black and white. Stripes, solids, all black in the winter, all white in the summer… my outfits were more or less always a variation of black, white and sometimes grey. This spring, in spirit of my style resolution to wear more color, I experimented with adding more color and am hooked on the latest trend: blue and white. I feel like everywhere I look (blogs, fashion magazines, stores etc), people are wearing blue and white. One of the most popular variations I've seen is the classic blue and white stripes or gingham, but there are tons of other patterns and ways to style this trend. I've picked up a few blue and white items myself that I am looking forward to styling for the blog. For now, here's some inspiration I found via Pinterest for the summer's hottest trend.

How are you styling blue and white this summer? Let me know in the comments!
I like baby blue this summer. Blue and white stripes shirt, dress are really my favorite in this hot season. These two colors are so fresh and bring us escaped from hot weather.

Ronnie Coleman's Real Workout Routines
One look at Ronnie "The Unbeatable" Coleman will tell you everything you need to know about him. Unmatched in the world of bodybuilding, he's earned so many bodybuilding titles it would make your head spin.
He's a powerhouse, he's dedicated to the craft, and you can tell that he worked harder than anybody else in the game to become one of the most accomplished bodybuilders of all-time
The Coleman Legacy
Ronnie Coleman, aka The Unbeatable Coleman, is easily one of the best bodybuilders in the history of the sport. His 8 consecutive wins on the Mr. Olympia stage alone should tell you that, but if that's not enough he's earned more International Federation of Bodybuilding records than years some of those competitors have been alive.
His greatest feat, 8 back-to-back Mr. Olympia wins, has been accomplished only by one other man in history, Lee Haney.
It's important to remember that standards only go up over the years, so he may share the title, but arguably he's reached higher heights than Haney.
Hot on the heels of that nearly unparalleled accomplishment is his 26 International Federation of Bodybuilding records. Most people will never come anywhere near the IFBB record books in their entire life, but Coleman burst it wide open and scrawled his name everywhere he possibly could.
He's easily one of the most decorated bodybuilders to ever pick up a barbell, and he's not just a pillar of muscle and sweat.
Ronnie Coleman has a great head on his shoulders. He was born in Bastrop, Louisiana, and earned a Bachelor's in accounting from Grambling State University.
He's the kind of guy that dabbled in a lot and found success everywhere he did. This bodybuilding accountant is a paragon of hard work and dedication to a craft. Be it behind the books or underneath a barbell, he poured his all into everything he did, and you can see from his insane number of decorations that it paid off for him.
He's a celebrated bodybuilder that never forgot his roots. Ronnie Coleman is more than just the greatest bodybuilder ever. He's a devoted Christian man, he puts as much into his faith as he does into his careful, almost obsessive bodybuilding. He's a role model for lifters everywhere, he shows us all what it's like to totally devote yourself to something you're trying to achieve.
He's also shown us what it's like when you chase your dreams too far.
But in doing so he's also shown us how to fight through a dark time and come out the other side swinging. In the last few years, he's been contending with over a dozen back surgeries because he spent so much time towards the end of his career exercising with a herniated disk.
He was so driven and single-minded about breaking his own, already unbelievably impressive records that he wouldn't let something like his body constantly begging for help stop him. As a result, needing several consecutive back surgeries, essentially bolting the entire posterior half of his body together from scratch. It was harrowing and expensive, and for a while, he was worried he might never be able to walk again. He made it through that period of time, slowly recovering the same way he slowly built the kind of body that would break records.
Ronnie Coleman fought tooth and nail to get to where he ultimately finished his career. He's the kind of role model that anybody looking to build up their muscles and sculpt their bodies in whatever they decide is the perfect image. Ronnie did the world a favor by neglecting to keep his workout routines secret.
Training like Ronnie
Ronnie Coleman's workouts were all about targeting a specific muscle group every day and training them thoroughly. The real progress was from how dedicated he was and how hard he would push himself during those workouts.
His workouts were designed to push his muscles as close to failure as possible.
These workouts are the kind that leave you feeling like you've done everything you possibly could to encourage muscle growth.
3 sets of 15 reps don't sound like much on paper, but when you're lifting the kind of weight that Coleman did, and you're doing it six days a week with the intention of becoming one of the most powerful-looking people on the entire planet, 3 simple sets of 15 quickly becomes a herculean task.
For Ronnie Coleman, his training was about quality, not quantity.
If he could work out his muscles to their fullest extent without having to bounce from station to station, he would do it. If he could select a small handful of exercises that would target multiple muscles at once, he would add it in.
These are the sorts of things you should be considering when you're building a workout routine like Coleman's.
If you're planning on packing on muscle, focus on dividing your muscle groups into easier to manage compartments of muscle and finding a wide range of simple exercises that will cover the entirety of your body.
If you're bodybuilding, don't get caught up in fancy exercises, just find something that will challenge you, something you can stick to, something you know you can depend on when you need to train hard-af.
Ronnie trained heavy and hard. If you're looking to set up a similar training program, here's an example training split you can follow:
Day 1: Quads, Hamstrings, and Calves
3 sets of 15 reps:
Barbell Squat
Barbell Hack Squat
Leg Curls (Standing, Lying, and Seated)
Seated Single-Leg Curl
Day 2: Back and Triceps
3 sets of 15-20 reps:
Bent-over Barbell Row
Lying T-Bar Row
One-Arm Dumbbell Row
Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown
Triceps Dips
Standing Dumbbell Triceps-Extension
Lying Triceps Press
Overhead Shoulder Press
Side Lateral Raise
Front Dumbbell Raise
Seated Bent-Over Dumbbell Rear Deltoid Raise
Day 4: Chest and Biceps
Medium Grip Barbell Bench Press
Medium Grip Barbell Incline Bench Press
Decline Barbell Bench Press
Barbell Curls
One-Arm Dumbbell Preacher Curl
Alternate Hammer Curl
Day 6: Chest, Triceps, and Abs
Between 3 and 4 sets of 12 reps:
Incline Dumbbell Press
Decline Barbell Press
Incline Dumbbell Flyes
Decline Dumbbell Press
Cambered-Bar Triceps Extensions (Lying and Seated)
Donkey Calf Raises
Seated Raises
Day 7: Rest
You can see from this workout routine that building one of your own isn't really that difficult. Ronnie Coleman's routine is really just a simple framework that you can co-opt for your own purposes. Just find around 8 or 9 exercises per area you're targeting, and find an appropriate amount of weight that will allow you to get through three full sets of exercise.
You should also integrate some cardio into your routine.
This workout doesn't lay out a lot of time for cardio, but you should at least be slipping some in as a warm-up. It's a great way to get blood pumping throughout your body, and it's going to do wonders for your muscle growth as long as you don't overdo it.
In fact, Ronnie himself writes in Muscle and Fitness that "my most dramatic leg growth came during a period when I performed supersets every other workout, and not necessarily with squats as the heavier of the two exercises. You'll need to develop pro-level cardio efficiency and dig even deeper into your endurance reserves in order to get the most out of superset training. This is not for wimps."
Supersets can be a good way to work cardio into your routine because you're not giving yourself time to catch your breath.
You may be lifting the entire time, but to get the kind of reps required for a superset, you're going to have to dramatically drop the amount of weight you're lifting.
What's the Real Secret?
If you're looking at that workout routine and looking at pictures of the 8-time back-to-back Mr. Olympia, you might be thinking "is that really it?" It almost doesn't seem like it adds up, right? Plenty of people are doing five-day workouts, and they aren't exactly bursting at the seams with muscle.
The thing is, most folks aren't working out as hard as Ronnie was.
They aren't taking the time to consider what spurs along with muscle growth, and they aren't coming at their rest days and diets with the kind of scrutiny that a world champion would.
Muscle growth is all about a process called hypertrophy.
You're working out as hard as possible to add tiny tears to your muscles, you need that damage so your body has something to rebuild. You need to be constantly pushing yourself because your body is rebuilding your muscles specifically to meet the last challenge they overcame.
You also need to be feeding yourself the building blocks of a strong body.
Hypertrophy isn't just the natural result of exercise. It requires work well after you've left the gym. Your workouts need to target different parts of your body throughout the week so that you're giving your body the time it needs to rebuild your muscles.
You need to be maintaining a good diet full of protein so your body has a wealth of material to pull from when it's time to rebuild your damaged muscles.
You also need to be sure that you are training your muscles through their full range of motion.
If you don't then you'll be missing out on the full range of possible growth for your body. Bodybuilding is a science as much as it's about grit and strength. If you can take the time to properly and fully understand the underlying mechanics of your body, then you're going to have a much easier time building the kind of muscle like Ronnie Coleman did.
Coleman Calories
Ronnie Coleman is a huge dude, and that means that he has a huge need for food. His entire job and daily life revolved around expending massive amounts of energy, so he needed a diet that could keep up with his energy requirements.
He also needed huge amounts of protein so his body could build all of that award-winning muscle he's so well known for.
Every day he would eat around 550 grams of protein, 480 grams worth of carbs, 150 grams of fat, and his calorie intake would end up being well over 5000 calories.
The important thing here is what he ate, not how much of it, though. There's a huge difference between 5000 calories of birthday cake and 5000 calories of nutrient-dense food.
Calories aren't always the most important metric.
Your body isn't interested in calories, it's interested in raw material. Think about the contents of your meals more than the calorie count. You're looking for foods that will feed your needs. If you're feeling low on energy, you probably need carbs or some other form of sugar, if you're pumping as much iron as possible and you're still not seeing any muscle growth, then you're most likely missing protein.
Right after waking up: 3 to 5 grams of L-Arginine supplement
Meal 1 (Breakfast )cup grits with cheese, 2 cups egg whites, 1 cup coffee
Pre-workout: pre-workout supplements, 3-5 grams L-Arginine
Post-workout – 1 serving of BCAA
Meal 2: 2 8oz chicken breasts, 1 ½ cups brown rice, 1 ½ cups red beans, 2 pieces cornbread
Late evening: 3 to 5 grams of L-Arginine
Meal 3: Two 8oz chicken breasts, 1 medium-sized baked potato
Meal 4: 9oz filet mignon, 5oz chicken breasts, 1 medium-sized baked potato, French fries, 8oz pink lemonade
12 a.m. – 1 serving of BCAA
1:30 a.m. – 4 scoops of whey blend
Legendary Ronnie
Ronnie Coleman is a once-in-a-lifetime champion, so his workout routine and diet aren't for everyone.
If this was something that just anybody could keep up with then world champions would be a dime a dozen. Ronnie Coleman's workout routine isn't something you may ever want to try for yourself, and truth be told it was even too much for the man himself.
He devoted so much of his body to the craft that it borrowed time from him in the form of being bedridden and broken.
This workout routine is intense, the diet is intense, and if you stick to the letter of it, you're going to get your butt kicked. Hard. That's not to say, however, that there isn't something to be learned from this.
Ronnie Coleman understood things about his own body that most folks will never realize for themselves.
If you want to pull out your potential, then this is a good framework to build your own routine from. Try scaling things down a little bit, give yourself an extra rest day or two, and be willing to cut a few exercises out.
Your training routine is going to be no good if you end up breaking yourself and find yourself unable to continue exercising to your heart's content. Chasing after Coleman is admirable, but learn from his mistakes as well as his triumphs.
Running After Ronnie
Ronnie Coleman is literally one in a billion. He's one of the few people in the world to have won consecutive Mr. Olympia titles, and of that limited roster of people, he was the absolute best. He smashed through records time and again, until there was practically nothing standing in between him and the title of number one in the world.
If you're looking for someone to model your muscle-building journey after, then look no further. Just remember to take it easy if your body starts telling you it can't quite keep up, and you'll go far.


Winter is coming ! ☃ Pyjama pants for everyone ! In our case, that's means for my husband and I ?
A while back I made some sleep shorts for both of us (the post is here), and I am going to use the shorts pattern to create a Pj pant pattern, simply by lengthening the leg. Below are the fabrics. I am going to use this sheep print cotton fabric for my husband.
We are going to start by tracing the shorts pattern onto a piece of craft paper. If you already have your inseam measurement, mark the length. If you don't, measure your inseam (crotch to floor measurement). You can also create a pattern from one of your favorite pyjama pants as shown in the tutorial at Melly Sews.
My 1cm (3/8 inch) seam allowance is included in the pattern.
Once you marked the length, you can draw a straight line to create you pant leg. I decided to taper the pant leg, since I don't like the pant leg riding up when I sleep (I get cold).
Now you have to cut out your pattern and cut out your fabric, buy folding it right sides together. I made a front pattern and a back pattern. You'll need two of each. I'm not sure if you have to make a front & back given that the pants are usually very large.
If you intend to have a color block hem, be sure to fold your pattern at the length you want. For the color block hem, you'll need 4 pieces. I folded my pattern where I wanted the color block to start & created a pattern.
Next sew the color block hems to each leg & finish your seams. I use a simple zig zag stitch to finish the seams since I don't have a serger. Press each leg so the pieces lay nice and flat.
To assemble your pants, place a pant front & back panel right sides together, sew the inseam & then finish your seams. I trimed the excess fabric so that it looks neat. Repeat for the other leg and press the seams.
Sew the pant side seams together.
Once I was done, the pants seemed a little small, so before finishing the seams I had my husband try them on, and sure enough they were too small. I also made the legs too tight around the ankles, too tapered ? Oops! I was thinking about starting over, but didn't have enough fabric, so instead I cut off the side seams, added a 10cm piece of the black fabric I used on the hem to each side, in order to make them larger.
The second fitting was more successful ? I finished the seams once I knew they fit. All that was left to do now were the hems and the waistband.
For the waistband, I measured the waist of the pants and cut out 2 strips of 10cm wide black fabric. I wanted a 4cm wide waist band, so my width includes 1cm of seam allowance on each side. Sew the ends of your 2 strips together and press. Then fold in half and press, and fold over another cm & press (this will make it easier when you flip the pant to finish the waistband on the right side).
Unfold your waist band and pin it to the wrong side of the pant.
Sew in place. Press your waistband flat & flip the pant to the right side. Trim the excess fabric that will be inside the band, to lessen bulk.
Pin the waistband in place on the right side.
Be sure that the band slightly overlaps your initial stitching and top stitch the waistband. Be sure start & end your stitching leaving a 4cm space so that you can insert the 3cm wide elastic band in the waistband.
Once the elastic is in place sew the ends of together & insert the remains elastic and then sew the opening closed. Finished your pant hems & you're done !
My hubby loves them ? (even if they didn't turn out as I initially planned). I did go back and adjust my pattern for the next time.
For myself, I used an owl print fabric and a hot pink trim. This time around the pattern was accurate. I used the same process as above, except that I decided to add white piping between the main fabric and the pink hem on the legs. This the first time I have tried to add piping to a project. On this kind of a project it is simple. I sewed in the piping before adding the pink hem.
To add you piping you'll need a zipper foot. I cut strips of white piping the with of my pant leg adding 1cm on each side. Align the hem of your piping along the right side of you pant hem and baste in place. I stitched it in place.
Then take your hem and place it on top right side down cause you're going to fold it back and press it. So, it should be a sandwich of main fabric right side, piping and hem wrong side. Sew them together.
Fold back to the right side and press. Then top stitch for a nice finish.
One thing that I probably should have done with the piping, to reduce bulk on the side seams, is trim the piping to the edge of the seam allowance, which may have improved the alignment on the piping, but I'm happy with the result for a first experience with piping. If you do more elaborate overlapped piping, this is probably a good idea. There is a good tutorial on this at Closet Case files.
The rest of the assembly is the same as the first pair.
Wow those look awesome and cozy.

Strange place available world-wide
Forged in the heart of a Mississippi swamp, Magnolia Bayou's sound is appropriately reminiscent of the golden age of Rock N Roll, and it is simultaneously flavored with a heavy, southern swagger that is distinctively theirs. Their bluesy aura can be traced back to the group's origins, where they submerged and steeped themselves in their home state's profound, musical wealth; covering the likes of Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Son House and so many more.
Like their musical forefathers, the band spent three years blazing their way through juke joints along the Mississippi Blues trail, before independently recording their debut album in 2018. After it's release, they spent the next two years extensively touring the surrounding south, traveling as far as the midwest and the pacific northeast. In that time, they've supported many acts such as Whiskey Myers, Wet Willie, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Fantastic Negrito, Tyler Childers, Ian Moore, Aaron Lewis, Bishop Gunn & Black Stone Cherry.
In May of 2019, Magnolia Bayou set out to record their follow up album, Strange Place, at Natchez Sound Studio with Bishop Gunn's very own Burne Sharp at the helm. The record is now available everywhere. "Echoes of The Rolling Stones, Hendrix & early Aerosmith that come roaring out of your speaker... Strange Place is a transcendent blast of Rock & Roll with Southern Swagger and by any measure, Magnolia Bayou is one of the most crucial bands blowing up in the USA right now"

Graphic Novel Review: Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of the Capes (Rebirth) by Peter J. Tomasi
Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of the Capes (Rebirth) by Peter J. Tomasi (illustrated by Jorge Jimenez, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and Jose Luis) continues the story of Damian, the new Robin and son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al'Ghul and Jon, the new Superboy and son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. This graphic novel collects issues #6-10.
My rating for Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of the Capes – 3
Buy Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of the Capes from Amazon.com*
More Books by Peter J. Tomasi
I strangely found myself enjoying Super Sons vol 1: When I Grow Up and was looking forward to read Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of the Capes (Rebirth) by Peter J. Tomasi (illustrated by Jorge Jimenez, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and Jose Luis). I was hoping to find the story of two mischievous boys, getting in trouble while coming of age – something similar to season 1 of Smallville.
The story in this graphic novel takes on too much, some stories are simply loosely tied together and are overly complex for what it is. I enjoyed the relationship between Jon and Damian but I think a less bombastic mission/adventure would have played better.
Even though this issue is more aimed at kids / young teens than the more adult oriented books, it's still a lot of fun. I enjoy the new Robin's dark sarcasm and attitude. For me, the last issue of the two young almost-heroes training together really saved the whole graphic novel. I wish more stories like that, somewhat of a smaller scale than a grand adventure, would make it into the series.
The two stories in this issue seemed to be slapped together rather quickly. The interaction between Superboy and Robin, as in the first graphic novel, is really the star here and makes it all worthwhile.
The book also focuses on the parenting styles of Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne. While the Kents have their rules, they understand that Jon can't be protected from what he is to become, and needs guidance. Bruce Wayne is less hands on, but still expects strict discipline from his snarky, controlling, brooding, and independent son.
Overall this is a fun title which, most likely, will not have many reverberating affects throughout the DC Universe. Awesome, eye popping art and best of all, who could ask for a better snarky teenage hideout than the Fortress of Attitude.
A training mission for Damian Wayne (Robin) and Jon Kent (Superboy), turns out to be an adventure in another dimension. This time the two team up with the Teen Titans.

Q: Compare string with values from mysql I have a database containing the name of bands and other artists related to music. Now i want to check a string containing an artist name against this database and find similar or equal artists to avoid different kind of spelling.
I found the php function 'similar_text' and i am sure, it is no problem to build a script to do this comparison during a loop.
What would be the best and fastest way to do such a comparison?

A: it depends on the size of your data. if it's trivial [few tens of thousands] - then run nightly batch job that will:

*

*extract unique artist names from the source data

*calculate soundex

*create dictionary with key being soundex, value - list of the original strings for the artist column

at this stage you'll have to decide if you want automatical merging or manual approval for each rename. in the long run you can have helper table with proper spelling and found so far miss-spellings. those cases can be handled automatically the next time they are encountered.
if soundex is not good enough you can try to experiment with php's similar_text, levenshtein functions and compare names found in newly added data with 'approved' names of artists you've already reviewed earlier.

DVA is a major violation of human rights that damages the health of women, men and their children. Thirty-five per cent of women worldwide have suffered abuse from their husband or partner. NICE guidelines recommend that teaching about DVA should be an integral part of medical education.
The study, published on 6 October in The Clinical Teacher, analysed the results of an online survey completed by primary care teaching leads at 25 out of 34 medical schools to assess the extent and adequacy of DVA education provided in the UK.
Twenty-one medical schools reported delivering some form of DVA education, however 11 reported providing only 0 to two contact hours on the subject over a five-year degree. Most of the schools offering DVA education were found to offer this as part of a teaching session or lecture between years three to five delivered by a range of different methods and providers across different modules.
The authors recommend more consistency and structure in DVA curricular content and, in line with NICE guidance, that policy makers consider making DVA education mandatory.
The authors conclude that the marginal presence of DVA in the medical undergraduate curriculum is inadequate in light of the DVA's impact on health. They recommend increasing the content and integrating it into the curriculum at several points, from pre-clinical to clinical years.
The study was funded by the Scientific Foundation Board of the Royal College of General Practitioners.

Desertification: Great Green Wall Bill Scales Senate Second Reading
by newsadmin2 on May 6, 2015 | No comments
Posted under: breaking news, Politics, Recent News
The Senate on Wednesday passed at its second reading the Great Green Wall Bill for the establishment of an Act to Establish the National Agency for the Great Green Wall aimed at tackling desertification.
The Bill passed second reading after a debate on it led by the Leader of the Senate, Victor Ndoma-Egba.
Senate President, Senator David Mark, at the plenary expressed optimism that the bill would be passed before the end of the 7th Assembly in spite of the fact that it was presented late.
Mark who also expressed the hope that it would be signed into law by the President before the end of the present government, stressed the need for the agency to effectively carry out its task, when established.
"I hope the agency, when established, will do what this bill has asked them to do in practical term. They must be on ground to what they ought to do,'' he said.
Contributing to the debate, Ndoma-Egba said that the establishment of the agency would help to tackle the problem of drought and desertification, among others, in the country.
The Senate Leader said climate change was one of the world's most formidable challenges, posing serious threat to global stability in view of its negative impact on the physical, biological and social environment.
According to him, about 2,168 square kilometres of rangeland and crop land were being lost each year in the country, thereby inducing forced migration, rural poverty and social conflicts, stressing that that if the rampaging desertification was not checked and controlled, the socio economic consequences would be disastrous.
He said: "About 43 per cent of Nigeria's total land area is under the threat of desertification with resultant effect on food security, sustainable livelihood and social security of affected communities of over 40 million people.
"Currently, 11 countries are involved in the programme and the thrust is to provide a green wall of trees or shelterbelts from Kebbi state to Borno state, a distance of 1,500 kilometres.
"This is to wedge the southward expansion of Sahara desert and improve land productivity.
"The programme further involves provision of water for irrigation, domestic and animal consumption and promotion of alternative means of livelihood to enhance rural economy and create job opportunities.''
Senator Ali Ndume (APC-Borno South ), in his contribution, noted that desertification had become a threat to the corporate existence of the country and the passage of the bill had become imperative.
Ndume said there was an urgent need to pass the bill, adding that the problem that affects one's neighbour affects him too and a threat to one is threat to all.
He said: "Some states in the country, which were hitherto not affected by drought and other effects of desertification are being threatened by desertification which runs across 11 states in the North; states like Adamawa, Bauchi and Gombe are now threatened.
"Also, other countries that signed the treaty with Nigeria have established agencies to handle the project but Nigeria is yet to do so.''
In his submission, Senator Smart Adeyemi (PDP-Kogi West), Chairman Senate Committee on FCT, said the creation of the agency would create jobs and so the bill would go a long way in combating unemployment.
Adeyemi noted that desert encroachment was a serious threat and national challenge and urged the agency when established, to look beyond the 11 states mentioned in the lead debate.
"It is a national problem and I hope that before the end of this dispensation we will pass this bill and have it signed into law,'' he said.
The bill was referred to the Senate Joint Committee on Agriculture and Environment with a directive that it should be returned after one week.
